Thanks, I have a surge suppressor on the line of aux breaker box for the pump. I'll just shut it down from the main house breaker panel. Good luck to all here in FL. Our prayers for all to be safe! Thanks Again!

Very nice! DID you shock it, I added a pool floater to mine, If we lose power for long the In line chlorinator won't work. Also thinking of shutting down pumps for two days so power failures won't be hard on equipment.

:scratch: Should equipment be left on or turned off? I added Shock & Floater to the pool this morning and just before the winds & rain picked up. But with our power going on then off, not good for equipment? Would that be ok for a few days to turn off? This storm is going to be hard for many...

Great, I will check the control & manual to see about freeze protection. My pool tech from my builder never said anything about that but I use to live in Illinois and seen enough broken pipes, I don't want to take a chance on any damage. It's my first winter with a running pool here in Fl...

I live in North East Florida and want to know if many pool owners circulate their pumps at night versus daytime hours to protect from freezing? I was thinking 10 PM to 5 AM. Let me know your thoughts & best practice. Thank you....

Thanks I have a few test kits and test strips, the Taylor 2006 c and 5 way test kit from Pool Style that builder supplied. I'll get that done. thanks again.

Had the grand kids over for a swim. The youngest is just getting over from a ear infection and only 3 years old. He was wearing swimmers, he was hanging out by our bubblier. I shocked the pool after they left. This morning I found Feces on the bottom of the pool. It was clump together but when I...

I went with the lighter gem color. It sure gives a beautiful look. Also on the safety side easier to see anyone on the bottom. Its all about what you want, you will have it a long time.

I haven't received my test kit yet, but was wondering what the kit says to do, I do think this tech of mine is a little lazy. But he is the go to guy my pool company has in place for taking care of my pool the last 30 days and doing the pool school I can't fire him, cause he is part of the...

I was watching some videos on Youtube and most say not to put spent test back in pool. And you see them throw it on the ground, my pool tech puts the waste back in the pool. he say it breaks down and filters out. My question is who's right? what is best practice procedure for testing. Thank...

I have a new pool screened room 35 X 50 with 12 x 22 covered patio pool listed below. Pool size works for us and feel its large enough for having friends over with out being over crowded. On a budget, so didn't want to go over board, it seems the sky's the limit, so plan on what you want to...

Thanks I will be looking closer at figuring, calculating the run time. To save some energy, and to keep the pool clean. I also have a Vs pump. Is anyone using a solar pump convention. I found a contractor on the west coast that specializes in solar conversions so it mainly runs on solar power...

Also I should have test results from him today, I am not sure how he does it with out writing it down. He did turn down the chlorinator down to 2 and put in two sticks. Checked the PH and added a little acid. He said the FC was 3 and PH was 8, I didn't get the other readings, cause he said he...

Also one more question, is it beneficial to install a flow meter? I found a Flow Meter and Check Valve by Flo-vis that will enter change with my check valve. Looking at lowering the run time some, they have it set for 12 hrs per day.

Thanks again, makes perfect sense what you both are are telling me, He did say the trichlor tablets do not have a lot of stable built into them but it would have to monitored and to lower the level of CYA I would simply drain water from the pool and then add fresh water in. They are supplying me...
